Causes of Foundation Failure:
Evaporation: Hot and dry conditions may cause soil to pull away from the foundation. Settlement due to this foundation moisture imbalance could cause cracks to appear throughout the structure.
Transpiration: Tree roots could dehydrate the soil beneath a home causing soil shrinkage and settlement of the home.
Plumbing Leaks: Water from leaky plumbing is often a major contributor to foundation problems.
Drainage: Improper drainage will lead to excess moisture build up, which could erode or consolidate soils. Excessive moisture may cause upheaval settlement.
Poor Building Site Preparation: Cut and fill situation, where soil is removed from part of the lot and stacked on another, must have proper soil stabilization before the structure is constructed; otherwise unexpected movements of the soil beneath the foundation may occur.
Poor Ground Preparation: Cut and fill situations should be properly prepared before structure is started or it may result in improperly compacted soil beneath the foundation.
Poor Soil Conditions: Poor soil, organic components, debris, etc., may cause expansion or consolidation, which contribute to foundation failures.
